Clare slowly came to to school with darker and darker clothes. She was wearing dark black eye liner, black jeans. She never smiled. She never laughed. All the bad ass kids started to hang out with her. Alli watched her sweet and kind friend turn into a sadistic angry bitter girl. She no longer wanted to hang with Alli, or Dave or Connor. She had a new boyfriend(if that was even the right term for these guys) every week. Clare was heading into a deep dark abyss and no one could stop her.
…...
"Dave, I am worried about her." Alli said "She isn't Clare. She is this dark emo girl."
"She is just healing. Let her go." Dave said
"you aren't worried about her?" Alli said
"You know Clare, she will be herself in no time." he said
"Its been a month. How long are we supposed to wait?"
"I don't know." Dave said. Just then Clare came with Fitz. Her new "boyfriend."
"Hey guys." Clare said. Fitz had his arm slinked around Clare's waist.
"Hi Clare. Wanna come over to my house for mani/pedi's?" Alli asked
"Can't. I am going to the ravine with Fitz."
"Oh OK." Alli was more than disappointed. Just then Clare and Fitz were making out. Not even a quick kiss, it was long slow kiss. Making sure everyone was watching. Alli(who didn't mind PDA was finding this sicking. Fitz just left. Clare had this look of pure satisfaction. A look Alli was scared to see on Clare's face.
"Al, I will meet you later." Dave said, picking up on the vibe that Alli wanted to talk to Clare. He kissed her quick.
"Clare, I am worried about you." Alli said
"Well don't." Clare said
"I just think that you are getting in way too deep." Alli put her hand on Clare's shoulder but Clare shook it off
"I am not. I know exactly what I am doing. I living my life." Clare said
"But you barley know Fitz, and suddenly you are all over him?" Alli said "You know what goes down at the ravine," Alli referring to what happened to her last year.
"Every think I want that? I want to have sex with Fitz?" Clare said. Alli shook her head. It was as if someone else had taken over Clare's body, making her say this stuff
"Clare what happened to you?" Alli asked
"Nothing. I am still the Clare I was."
"No you aren't. You changed"
"Maybe its about time I did." Clare just walked away
"What would Eli say if he saw you now?" Alli said. Clare slapped her across the face
"Leave me alone Alli." Clare had changed. She changed into someone Alli didn't know. It scared her. And Clare wouldn't listen to her. But Alli knew one person who she always listened to.
…...
KC sat in the gym. He thought about he had screwed his life over and in turn hurt the only person he ever loved. He hated himself. He hated the coach, he hated Jenna, he hated Alli, he hated everything. He took the ball and threw at the basket and he screamed. He was so angry. He wanted to die.
"KC?" it was Alli
"Go to hell Alli." he said
"KC its Clare. I am worried about her." Alli said
"What's going on?" he stopped
"I don't know. She isn't Clare. All of a sudden she is little miss "bad ass" she skips class, she goes out with random guys, she just isn't Clare." Alli said :I am scared" KC hugged her
"Where is she?"
"She left, but she is going to the ravine, tonight with Fitz. I think she is gonna sleep with him. That is something I know she will regret." Alli said "I would go but I have curfew."
"I'll go." Kc said "I just need a ride there."
"Ask Declan." KC looked at her wired :Declan is kinda like her big brother." Alli said
"Ok. Thanks Alli." he said
"Just bring Clare back."
"I will."
…...
Declan was in the music room on his computer. KC sighed. He never spoke two words to Declan, and now he was about to ask for a favor.
"Declan Coyne?"
"Yeah?" Declan looked up "Your Clare's ex KC right?"
"Yeah." Kc said
"What can I do for you?" not even looking up from his computer
"I need a ride." Kc said
"Ok?" Declan said kinda confused
"I need a ride because, Clare is about to do something she will always regret and if I don't stop her I will never forgive myself." KC said. Declan looked up. He thought about it and said
"What time?"
